A Culinary Legacy: Reimagining Comfort Food

Chiwaffles is more than just food; it represents the quintessential chicken and waffles experience reimagined into a convenient wrap form. For over 17 years, we at Chiwaffles, LLC have been perfecting what we proudly call the Genesis Chiwaffle—the most popular item we've ever created. This delectable creation features boneless fried chicken nestled within a homemade butter-glazed waffle, perfectly complemented by a choice of dipping sauces. This trio of chicken, waffle, and sauce didn't come easily—it was the product of 778 meticulous attempts to balance flavors and textures, making the Genesis Chiwaffle the pinnacle of our culinary offerings.

Our brand and the Chiwaffle itself carry a deeply personal story, woven into the fabric of our identity through the Chiwaffle logo, which is a tribute to Chef Tasharra’s late mother. Named 'Pota Poulet'—meaning 'My Mother’s Chicken'—the logo and the dish honor the memory of a beloved parent whose recipe for fried chicken was passed down through generations. This familial connection is not just a nod to tradition but also a cornerstone of our authenticity and commitment to quality. In 2006, Chef Tasharra Moses brought this recipe along with her innovative waffle wrap concept to life, sharing it first in Westchester County, New York, and eventually introducing it to broader audiences in the Bronx and Manhattan.

At Chiwaffles, we blend practicality with rich history. The recipes we use not only connect us to our roots but also cater to modern tastes and lifestyles. The format of our offerings, particularly the easy-to-eat Chiwaffle, is designed to suit the fast-paced lives of our customers without compromising the depth and complexity of the flavors. As we continue to innovate and expand our menu, we remain committed to the ethos of practicality meets heritage, ensuring each new dish reflects our foundational values of quality, authenticity, and ingenuity.
